Talking tablets: piloting skills building through collaboration - Jennifer Wilson & Eric Howard

This document discusses how Leeds Beckett University is piloting the use of digital tools to improve information literacy skills and collaboration. It outlines the university's graduate attributes related to digital literacy and evaluating information sources. It then evaluates current IL support, describes how various digital tools can be used to deliver flexible IL instruction, and emphasizes the importance of user experience, collaboration, and advocacy when introducing new technologies. The goals are to enhance the customer experience and develop staff skills through budgeted projects that utilize platforms like Google Hangouts, LibGuides, and the VLE.
